Whenever you see how pathetic the industry is on all fronts nowadays, just install and boot a good game aka pre 2012 at the latest. See the chinese girl game struggle with performance while looking like your average UE5 slop? Install Crysis (2007 ofc) and start a New Game. Have fun and go about your day afterwards. See Homeworld 3's infamous cinematic? Just install Age of Mythology (2002 ofc) and go after those krakens. Simple as. Just ignore the shitfest.

The industry is so fucking dog shit that people are actually looking towards Chinese slop now.
>Western DEI slop
>Japanese catering to Western audience slop
>Generic Korean MMO slop
>Chinese no identity slop

Don't forget that every slop release is bloated to hell. Bloat used to be = MMO, now even a random single player asks 80+ hours of your time. You get burned out before reaching the middle, it's insane. They even bloated the SH2 remake, fucking hell.

All the games are being outsourced to chinks or/and pajeets or/and AI. Reason why they all look the same, play the same, look like shit and, on top of all this, perform like shit.
A game being made by a Chinese company does not change the above facts.

Looks like shit

I only played Crysis at last once 3 was nearing. Cool experience. Prior I'd only seen a playthrough by a 50+ gamer who ran his own business. Good times.
>Crysis 4
Not sure if that's still happening but if it is at least consoles can handle big open world nowadays. Maybe someone other than Crytek will make it, even.

Already ahead of you. I'm playing Trails in the Sky right after I post this.

my pc still can't run crysis
I will die of old age before being able to play cyberpunk

Glad I'm not alone with this way of thinking. Enjoy your playthrough anon

>tries to pretend to be on the "better" side of anything
>"ha yeah Im totally based too like you guys who play actual real games thats why Im playing this jrpg and moe tranime cookie cutter shit that is 90% of all media I have consumed, Im 17 btw"

>Glad I'm not alone with this way of thinking.
you are absolutely not alone
afaik most people are doing this but its hard to measure so its gone unnoticed

Instead of spending money on new games I spent it on getting a fancy 4k oled which is used for vidya in a manner similar to what OP posits.

>>my pc still can't run crysis
>play crysis years after the fact
>figure that hardware should overpower it and I can add on the shader mods
>reality is that it was so optimized for the hardware at its release that it doesn't run any better on later hardware
lolmao

Intel said we would have 10ghz cpus and crytek fell for their bullshit claims.

>>716524937 (OP)
you're old
seething
malding
the problem is "the industry" releasing buggy unfixed shit on day one and fixing bugs after 2-3 years post-release, while selling dlcs

>>716524937 (OP)
now boot up that 2012 game with a 2002 pc

>Crysis
>A good game
I'm sick of this meme.

>>716524937 (OP)
Crysis isn't very fun, and it visually looks like a 2015 game.

>Homeworld 3's infamous cinematic?
